Elevating Nursing Knowledge: Investing in Your Expertise
The AORN Foundation understands that perioperative nurses are lifelong learners. To stay at the forefront of this dynamic field, continuous education is essential. Here's how the Foundation empowers nurses to expand their knowledge base:
Scholarship Programs:
The Foundation awards scholarships to deserving nurses pursuing various educational pathways, including Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN), Master of Science in Nursing (MSN), and Perioperative Certifications. The Foundation offers financial assistance for nurses pursuing certifications like the Certified Nurse Operating Room (CNOR) credential, demonstrating expertise in perioperative practice.
These scholarships are competitive, and statistics speak volumes about their impact. In the 2023-2024 academic year alone, the AORN Foundation awarded over 100 scholarships, empowering nurses to pursue higher education and elevate their knowledge in perioperative nursing.
Grant Programs:
The Foundation recognizes that ongoing education is vital beyond initial certification. They offer continuing education grants that support nurses attending conferences, workshops, and online courses focused on the latest advancements in perioperative care. These grants make it possible for nurses to stay current with best practices, new technologies, and evidence-based protocols, directly impacting the care they deliver.
Free Educational Resources:
The AORN Foundation curates a wealth of free educational resources on their website. These resources include webinars on a variety of topics relevant to perioperative nursing, presented by leading experts in the field, AORN Journal article access to summaries of key research findings in perioperative care, and toolkits and guidelines that translate research into actionable steps for everyday practice.
By providing a comprehensive approach to elevating nursing knowledge, the AORN Foundation ensures that perioperative nurses have the tools and resources they need to be the most effective and knowledgeable caregivers.

By supporting the AORN Foundation, you're not just making an investment in the future of perioperative nursing; you're directly impacting the care you provide to your patients. Every dollar donated goes towards funding essential initiatives that elevate the profession, empower nurses, and ultimately, contribute to better patient outcomes.
